[SEL] Just bought a new toy!!

[David Rotigel]

Economy engines (built by Hercules) were sold by Sears, not MG. I  
believe that by the time Sears was selling them the name "Economy" was  
"owned" by Sears--could be wrong on that. Glenn Karch would know for  
sure!

PS, All Economy engines sold by Sears were not manufactured by  
Hercules. Not sure of the date when Sears stopped marketing Hercules  
built engines under the "Economy" name--again Glenn would know off the  
top of his head--and I'm too lazy to look it up!
PPS, Hercules built engines would have had a small square tag, not the  
oval as in the picture.
